OpenAI Says It's Scanning Users Conversations and Reporting Content to Police

AI summary of the linked article

OpenAI's new blog post says it scans users' messages for certain harmful content, routes flagged conversations to a small human review team that can ban accounts, and in some cases refers imminent threats of serious physical harm to others to law enforcement. The company also said it is currently not referring self-harm cases to law enforcement, citing the privacy of ChatGPT interactions. The article notes that the policy's scope remains unclear and that the rule appears to conflict with OpenAI's privacy stance in its lawsuit with the New York Times and other publishers.

When we detect users who are planning to harm others, we route their conversations to specialized pipelines where they are reviewed by a small team trained on our usage policies and who are authorized to take action, including banning accounts. If human reviewers determine that a case involves an imminent threat of serious physical harm to others, we may refer it to law enforcement.
